We have just taken our extended family, 7 plus dog to Ghillies for 1 week. It is an amazing cottage which provided all we needed. It is well equipped in all rooms. The kitchen had all we needed especially when cooking for 7 every night! All rooms were very warm and cosy and the accomodation has beautiful touches in every room. The upstairs bathroom was a firm favourite with the free standing bath to soak in after a day out walking or cycling at Drumlanrig it was a treat with a view too! We had plenty off road parking and good outdoor storgae for our bikes. You can tell a lot of thought and time has been spent on making Ghillies a home from home with that extra something! I An amazing and special family week. Thank you to Laura ( for being there if we needed her), and our lovely welcome on arrival, we will be back

Wonderfully equipped roomy cottage. Absolute joy to stay here- we were a party of 4 adults and 4 children.Super garden with a barbecue and outside eating area which we made full use of when the weather allowed. Lovely scenery and walks nearby.Near to Thornhill which is a rather lovely village.
Perfect place to chill out.
1 review My family stayed at the cottage for 3 nights and we didn't want to leave. A beautiful cottage in a stunning setting. We were lucky with the weather enabling us to BBQ on two evenings so it was perfect. Thanks so much to Laura for providing a lovely welcome hamper, two extra beds and just a beautiful and clean property. We hope to stay again.

We had a great week staying in this 5 star holiday cottage. The cottage was beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean with a kitchen containing everything you would need to self cater for a holiday. The bathroom was wonderful with a roll topped bath and there were plenty rooms for our two children to have a bedroom each.
There was plenty to do in the surrounding area with young children, from Drumlanrig Castle, Caerlaverock castle, Threave Castle, Castle Douglas, Wanlockhead Mining village, Robert Burns cottage and heritage trail, Mabie forest cycles tracks- the list is endless!!!
There were also several good places to eat a short drive away with the Buccleugh and Queensbury Arms in Thornhill getting a huge thumbs up from us!
The owners of the cottage, the Kirkpatrick's, were very prompt with helpful emails before we arrived and let us enjoy our week with no intrusion on our privacy yet we knew they were nearby should we run into problems. They even provided a luxury welcome hamper including some basic provisions after our long drive and also some chocolate and wine and flowers!
This is possibly the best Scottish holiday cottage we have rented as a family so far! We highly recommend it!!

Stayed here with friends for a weekend. The cottage is lovely presented, beautiful decor and all the amenities you require for a lovely relaxing weekend. The owner is very helpful and will sort any problems quickly. We had food delivered from a local tearoom owner which was very good. Would definitely go back.
